Love how Aurvandil was all like "we like small independant players, and Falkirk's totally independant", and now they are going to war with D'Hara and Fissoa because of Falkirk and are allying with the most imperialistic realm of all, not to mention the new top realm: Luria Nova.As for those saying Aurvandil is crippled... the stats page show no significant change as far as characters and active characters go. Military strength waned, sure, but they had waned to even lower levels in January, and are already bouncing back up. So nope. Still there, still strong, still taking advantage of their illegitimate might to continue pressing on the neighboring realms they used their illegitimate might to cripple in the first place. Only difference is that they are siding with more unscrupulous people now.
A 33% drop in military strength is no laughing matter. Considering that more than a few of the characters that were locked and later auto paused automatically dropped their units as militia when they did that. Also, those accounts that were locked haven't been deleted yet so they won't show up on the Aurvandil stats. From first glance it looks like they have about 4 fairly new accounts in Aurvandil and not all of the nobles have that followed Allison have made their exodus. Also, it may take some time for all the extra gold that was funneled into the realm to run out.
How many capital sacks will they get to do before this happens, I wonder?
Actually none, as most of the gold is gone since it was mostly gold and not bonds during autopause, I believe. Its cheaper to maintain an army than it is to recruit an army.
They army that they already have and which is cheaper to maintain is quite enough...
You're right Chenier, we are coming for you. All our units and armies have been renamed to the boogeymen and we are gonna getcha. 2000 infantry will all be hiding under your bed
Your own ruler said he was coming to invade us...
We just want to scare you Really, you're pretty selfish thinking you would be our first target. SMH
We ALWAYS think we are EVERYONE's first targets.
Could have sworn that someone from Asylon would have said that... lets get paranoid togheter?
Wait... Niselur's first target is D'hara?!? I know our deposed King went there, but do we really need his corpse or something to ensure Leopold's rule?
